Key Requirements of Cell Therapy Manufacturing ProcessesScalable. Sample contained in 1 vesselEasy to scale out to make most efficient use of manufacturing space
Automatable to minimize the chance of human error
Single Use and Traceable to eliminate cross contamination with other patient cells
Closed system to eliminate chance of contamination with adventitious agents due to handling
Robust and Compliant. To ensure consistency of product and satisfaction of regulatory requirements
